Good story from VT, I haven’t read them for awhile. Let’s face it – guys in the upper echelon like Romney are absolute filth, but it obviously goes way beyond Romney and we will never know who was behind 9/11 or who really is the protected class because we have no media, just gov’t oligarchs who own them.

Afghan forces’ retreat in Helmand should help battle Taliban: minister

The surprise withdrawal of Afghan forces from parts of Helmand province may leave large areas under Taliban control, but it should bolster the defenses of the volatile southern region, the country’s top defense official said.

Acting Defence Minister Masoom Stanekzai said it made little sense to spread forces across sparsely populated districts like Musa Qala and Naw Zad, where government troops pulled out in February.

“We needed reorganization. There was a lot of pressure in different parts of Helmand,” he told Reuters in Helmand, where he met local tribal elders and commanders of the Afghan army’s 215th Corps last week.

Good evening,

I now read and seldom post. I am certain, like so many other silent readers/posters of the past. I am here this evening to refresh  a few old memories.

We all have not forgotten? …..what ever happen to WTC7? ..In very account this could not happen…but it did? Or are we so long lost it no longer matters? The old fog was you could be a Millionaire, now trillions?…smile..long past reality..open borders and ultimate security at airports?

We  did not realize the story was old and complex….and you were never part of the legacy.  I smile. the one percent crew.  Today when  many are endeavoring to retrace their heritage, we were royal?  Folks ..the colonies were the colonies…until they became independent…. then came Australia’s new location , exportation, found history . Look at the time line and understand not just USA ..independence …..but the rebellion of the royals  linkages in continual Europe. For those not following this ..what nation still has and only HAS a real royal family linkage…??Hello..and we all still bow down to this …insanity.

The Panama paper, allow me to ,smile, where are the Guernsey island papers, Cayman island papers, the Isle Of Mann papers..the City papers..and etc and etc..the list is TOO long. Only a fool would regard this as NEWS Flash…we are on the right road…scenario?  NO!!!!!! Feed for the sheep..

Folks …old gold runner was correct! This cannot stop now….for when it does the tidal wave of human conflict and destruction will be global. Can you just imagine the day the fed/state something for nothing and your day is free stops?

Enjoy ..face to the sun and wind on your back..

Can you imagine when the sheep realize ….the flock is too large …at ground level ? Believe me..i think the 1% has a very real solution.

The Very Nasty Truth About the Panama Papers

That’s a brave call on the SM…..don’t u realise it is not “allowed” to go down.

Only way I see it falling, is if it looks likely that Trump can run and win, the Scum may trash the SM as a warning not to vote for him.

Investigative journalist Yoichi Shimatsu looks at the criminal record of the Brothers Bakraoui, the ethnic Moroccan felons who allegedly bombed Brussels Airport.

Hi ipso,

Today’s video at ABC TV Australia on the subject of Panama Papers -Secrets of the Super Rich.

Worth watching.

Rickards: ‘Unallocated Gold Is a Euphemism for No Gold.’

I think that Rickards is correct in his judgement, and joins many others including Kyle Bass, who because of their backgrounds are much harder to ridicule and dismiss by the creatures of the bullion banks. And in some of their more recent remarks about this, one can almost feel the desperation. And here and there, the rats seem to be leaving the ship.

When this pyramiding of bullion and price manipulation falls apart, which history suggests that it must, there will be many angry investors demanding explanations of officials and regulators and bankers who will be shuffling from one foot to another, trying to excuse their lack of good fiduciary judgement and responsibility.

I just wonder if they will try to wait for some ‘big event’ to disclose this, in the hopes that fewer questions will be asked, and will be more easily dismissed.

As Rickards notes, and again I think he is right, they will ‘close the gold trading window’ and force settlements for cash at one price, and then reopen the price for actual bullion at a price that will climb shockingly higher, despite a determined PR campaign by their friends in the media.

Perhaps I am wrong about this, but to me it has seemed for some time to be all too similar to the improbable sustainability of the Madoff scheme, and other such arrangements that depend on large numbers of people accepting a proposition that is dangerously misconstructed, misrepresented, and therefore mispriced in terms of risks.

Northwest Territorial Mint, a Federal Way company that sells precious metals and produces medals and medallions, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Friday.

The move came a month after the company and its owner, Ross B. Hansen, were each hit with multimillion-dollar jury verdicts in a defamation and invasion of privacy lawsuit brought in Nevada by a Los Angeles businessman.

Todd Tracy, the company’s bankruptcy attorney, could not be reached late Friday.

The company’s filing says it has more than 200 unsecured creditors, and its assets and liabilities both exceed $10 million. Its biggest listed debts are a $7 million judgment in favor of the businessman, Bradley Steven Cohen, and a $5.5 million judgment in favor of his firm, Cohen Asset Management, both classified as disputed.

Might want to talk to these folks, Capital Gold Group. 800-510-9594 and ask about the Home Storage IRA.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-04-04/vietnam-seizes-chinese-ship-gulf-tonkin

These days? “assistance to foreign lands” is buying imported cars and other consumer products. USA has become bankrupt, note $17 trillion debt. China?? Has a $3 trillion SAVINGS account. That’s how much they over charged us for their low quality crap.

Don’t forget get about Japan and all of Europe. We had to fight there and lose…..

Happy Birthday!  (yesterday)

I will send you what I want to put into an IRA — just make that your middle name, or your initials!

Tax evasion probes underway after Panama Papers leak

It’s being called the “Panama Papers” — a trove of 11.5 million leaked internal documents from the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, showing how hundreds of thousands of people with money to hide used anonymous shell corporations across the world. Fusion’s investigative unit was one of the more than 100 media organizations that dove into the files — and found drug dealers, arms traders, human traffickers, fraudsters. We also found no shortage of politicians or their family members.
